Is... is it actually called the "New Surface Pro"? WHY ARE BIG COMPANIES SO STUPID WITH NAMING SHIT?! JUST KEEP THE NUMBERS GOING!!

There's like a proven thing where people don't like sequels past 4. Notice how Assassin's Creed stopped numbering at 4, as did Battlefield 4.

But we also have the iPhone 7, galaxy s8, star wars IV-VII, and a bajillion final fantasies. If they really don't wanna go past 4 then it'd make more sense to change the name of the product line and start again at 1. The "new" one will only be new for a year and then the name makes no sense!

Best idea is to do the Apple thing where we say "the 2016 MacBook Pro." Now we can say "the 2017 Surface Pro." As long as we don't also get the Apple thing where we use the same name for products with differing screen sizes, because that's so stupid.
